Encore Boston Harbor

The property in full

In Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts, Encore Boston Harbor presents itself as riverfront glass on the Mystic. What follows is our assessment of the accommodation, the front-of-house service, the food and beverage programme, and the day-to-day practicalities.

The property is built around mystic riverfront, harbourwalk park and water shuttle, and on those terms it serves Boston-area stays and harbour views better than any competing address nearby. Guests looking for something else will find the fit imperfect.

Before booking, note that reachable from central Boston by water shuttle in season. This is the detail most often missed, and the one that most often shapes how a guest remembers the property.
